A Penguin Party!






We celebrated Lauren's 3rd birthday on Sunday afternoon. She was so excited about her penguin cake. She requested a pink penguin "Snowflake" from the movie "The Adventures of Scamper the Penguin". (Be warned -this movie is addictive for children and has been known to drive parents insane.) She would invite the guests in the front door to come look at it in the kitchen and scream with excitement all the way to the cake.

What penguin party would be complete without olive penguins? Thanks Jim & Trish for assembling this little army of penguins. (I'm sure you talked about how insane I am all the way home.)

In other Lauren related news, she started ballet a couple of weeks ago and it's not going all that great. She loves to talk about ballet class and dance for us at home but at ballet class she will not leave my side. My mom was watching Shirley Temple dance in a movie with Lauren last week and she asked, "Do you dance like that in ballet?". Lauren replied ,"No Grandma, I just sit." She looks super cute though!

She was getting over a mosquito bite which caused the fluid around her eye to become infected.
Josh thought she looked like Sloth. (from "The Goonies")
